Assistant Keeper, ancient Sudan and Egyptian Nubia

Contact

Within the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan
Julie Anderson is responsible for curating the Sudanese and Nubian
collections.

She began excavating in Egypt and Sudan in 1987 and received her
PhD from the University of Toronto in 1996. Her research interests
include daily life and material culture in ancient Nubia and
Sudan.

Since 1997, she has co-directed archaeological excavations in
Sudan together with the National Corporation for Antiquities and
Museums (NCAM) in the Berber-Abidiya region. Currently, fieldwork
is concentrated upon the late Kushite site of Dangeil (third
century BC – fourth century AD), situated approximately 350km north
of Khartoum, where excavation of a large Amun temple, surrounding
temenos enclosure and associated cemetery is underway. Beginning in
2006, as part of the museum’s international training initiative,
personnel from NCAM have received training in field excavation
techniques on site.
